I got me a rock island 1911 for my birthday/Christmas gift to myself. It is a 9mm. Already have 350 rounds through it. Got my new grips, and new magazines in yesterday. So to change the grips, I completely disassembled the gun.

The day I got it



A pic of new grip next to old grip



And a pic of grips installed.

Lol I'm always careful these days tony. Fired my gun twice without being careful and have two daughters

 

Good looking gun

I love my Rock!

 

I love it and plan to get a 45 hicap in a few months

 

I've been looking at a Rock Island 45

Hey Luke, I have some 500-750 rounds through it. Haven't had any problem firing since the initial 200 rounds.

 

ED I like the new grips,

 

I like them a lot better than the stock ones. Soon as I get bills caught up gonna upgrade the trigger and a beaver tail grip.

 

Don't forget to get a tight barrel bushing for better groups
